What To Believe

On the day you were born Immediately you were told This is what to believe in To think would be bold And could be a sin You can have any faith Believe as you wish Or choose not to believe But many will try to deceive Telling you how to feel Everyone will yell Believe in this Believe in that Believe in what I say You have to live my way Going forward remember You have your own mind No need to surrender To another's thoughts Your own path you will find

Oh so true...I have chosen to follow my heart...God speaks to my soul. My parents when I was growing up, I would say were agnostic. My faith came from a divine place. I respect all beliefs, but I think everyone should follow God's path not man's...hugs, Rhonda

That's the thing about faith, whether you choose to believe or not to believe and what you choose to believe is your own choice. As a child you can be shown a choice but as you mature that choice is your own.
